The route passes by the vast marshlands of Kurjenrahka National Park, the pristine forests of Pukkipalo, and Savojärvi, offering breathtaking views in every season. During the hike, participants can enjoy the tranquility of nature, cross ice-cold rivers, and stay overnight in lean-tos equipped with fireplaces and dry toilets.
